The SAR limits are not set by device manufacturers. RF safety standards were evolved by the IEEE and ANSI, both impartial scientific and standards groups with a wide constituency. RF safety standards for the public are set at levels 10 times less than any known effect. In operation, most cellphones expose the user to even a fraction of that because the power level of cellphones is set to the lowest possible level by the system to avoid intrasystem interference. Only in a rural area, far from a tower, would a user typically experience anything like the safe limit. As a practical matter, with everyone using cellphones and otherwise being in the electronic fog of WiFi, radio, TV, radars, etc., shouldn't we be dropping like flies? But, duh, the rate of brain cancer has actually decreased in the US! Go figure... Before you jump in the RF hazard debate, you should do a bit of fact checking.
